Strange ideas about Fulham since 2006

Football Supporter Map of London

Following the logic of the internet and social media, I spotted this map on Andy Brassel’s twitter feed. Turns out the fine fellows at bigthink.com reposted the map from a QPR board. It really is all about collaboration, no?

Anyway, I guess it goes to show just how much of a little club by the Thames we are.

And while we’re on the topic of maps — my favorite! — here’s a map of 176 caricatures of Baltimoreans past and present, as well as 40 landmark buildings. (Click here for more info/larger image)

My only issue with the map above is that Chelsea appear to have a bigger fan base than both Arsenal and Spurs, which I would doubt. Although it claims not to include glory supporters, the area covered by Chelsea would suggest otherwise…

I recognize the baseball players and Edgar Allan Poe, and… yeah, that’s about it. I don’t actually know where Camden Yards and M&T Bank Stadium are (assuming they’re pictured), even though I’ve been to both of them.

I’m thinking/hoping he’s being facetious in all of this, but that does remind me of meeting a couple Londoners who were foreign exchange students while I was in college. Geeked that they may be Fulham supporters, I went and asked each individually where in London they were from/who they supported…

…both supported Man U. Bummer. Both claimed some long standing lineage or whatever. Didn’t run into another London native for a couple years and I was astounded to find out that he was, indeed, a Manchester United supporter.

I’m sure this is the exception, not the norm… but I had always considered the U.K. to be a little more loyal in their followings than many in the U.S., but, this gave me a little life lesson.

It’s an interesting idea (the London map) but doesn’t bear much relation to real life, in which supporters of all London teams and none are dotted all over the place with only the most rudimentary rhyme or reason to it. In so far as we have a heartland nowadays it’s a much as anything along the A3 corridor in boroughs such as Merton and especially Sutton — which are also of course full of Chelsea fans. What is probably the case is that while we have support all over the place, in no longer negligible numbers, we dominate in no single district whatsoever. Which, if so, probably makes us unique among clubs in the top two divisions and even maybe all four. Our opponents on Saturday are the only club I can think of whom the same may be true.

London Map is one of the most paramount products of Maps of World, providing the complete map of London focusing on the correct geographical location, airports and hotels in London with the information about the event per season. It allows you to find the information to any event venue, tourist site or gallery; you can get a fair idea about your desired location. If you want to have a brief overview about the city then London map comes handy.

"This is an enjoyable and perceptive romp through the career of the greatest ever Fulham manager. Whilst the latter stage of Hodgson's career will be familiar to football fans in England, the book sheds interesting light on what I suspect is the much less well-known earlier phase of his coaching & management career in other parts of Europe. His image has become a somewhat avuncular and gentlemanly one, but what does come out in the book is Hodgson's ambition and steeliness when needed. Fulham fans (of whom I'm obviously one) were gutted when he left to take over at Liverpool, but although his football manager trajectory has been a little unconventional you can see from this bio that Hodgson's eyes were always on the big prize. Noone expects England to win the World Cup in Brazil, but anyone who can take Fulham to the Europa League Final should not be written off lightly. A good read."

"A fabulous read that covers Roy Hodgson's career up to getting the England job in more detail than anything else I've read. Some great insights into how Roy has developed as a coach & a manager that will be of interest to any football fan but particularly those whose clubs he managed."
